Mohamed ElBaradei, founder of Constitution Party, congratulated members of the party's first general conference, which was held Friday.
ElBaradei called on youth to learn from their mistakes and to maitain hope, because they "do not hold private agendas."
ElBaradei said, in a speech read by Ambassador Sayed Qassem al-Masry, current head of the Constitution Party: "I pay tribute to the young men and women, the party rose by youth and will arise by youth. The road is open before you after being closed for 60 years, do not lose hope and goal."
ElBaradei added: "Learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of your predecessors. You are the only ones who do not have private agendas, and who seek to achieve the goals of the revolution: Bread, freedom, social justice. The country needs you, complete the journey and learn to work together because this is the mainstay of every successful work, and beware that that they might mesmerize you away from the goals of your revolution and its great emblem."
ElBaradei traveled to the United States, where he works as a professor at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, after he resigned from the position of vice president in Egypt to protest the bloody dispersal of Rabaa and al-Nahda squares sit-ins in mid-August 2013.
